I have a CHNR, wasn’t sure how much I would like it until I saw it in person, it’s amazing. I rotate between three Rolexes religiously every Sunday and I always look forward to the CHNR week in the rotation! The other two watches are super choices, as well.

I have CHNR and Hulk. They’re very different pieces. Hard for me to provide advice due to the stark differences in look and feel.

The CHNR is the easy choice for me as I find it the most attractive not only of the 3 you mention but also among the current lineup. But if it's your one and only maybe BLNR because it might be more versatile.

I appreciate the input. I’m leaning toward the CHNR and try to get a Hulk if I’m lucky.

dont like the batman but love the batgirl on jubilee, even then I would rank the hulk above it because of the sunburst green dial, like a chameleon. the chnr looks a bit subdue when i see it in person, may be the lighting, or just me.

BLNR or CHNR is nearly impossible for me to decide on...get both!

I love the history of the “Rootbeer.” Go for it. There is a video on YouTube by Watchfinder about the history of the model. You won’t be disappointed

If they bring back the oyster on the Batman, then definitely will!

Prefer LV or CHNR, then BLNR
I think the CHNR is easiest to get at AD then BLNR and then LV Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

So my AD called. As soon as I saw it, I couldn’t say no. When you see it in person, pictures do it no justice. The Root Beer is truly something special. Will get some pics up

Nobody wanted a Green Sub just 2 years ago. When I got mine I got so many “can’t do a green watch” or “green doesn’t go with anything”..... considering the watch has the exact same movement and hasn’t changed in 10 years I would recommend the CHNR on the fact it has a modern Rolex movement with ceramic rotor bearings and other updates. Just looking at the three in question and the CHNR is on another level as a watch. It has Everose and a perfectly colored ceramic bezel with the newer movement. The LVc is a hype watch now as those that wanted a green Sub had ten years to buy one at or below msrp. Buying one now anywhere above $12k is crazy and the definition of bad timing. The CHNR is new and the best value at slightly inflated cost.

Started searching for Hulk in January. Gave up hope in February and emailed the AD saying the CHNR would be my next choice. They had gotten one that day. So the wait was none for that. 6 months later I was able to get a hulk from them.

Wow. Beautiful. I’m on the list with my AD for the Hulk, though not sure where I am on the list. Will have to be patient.
